Israel is a nation that commits numerous atrocities and yet has the audacity to expect sympathy; there is no reason that a secular democracy such as Australia needs to support a fundamentalist fascist state like Israel.

And those that claim that Israel is a shining pillar of hope and democracy in the region, clearly understand little of Israel or the region.

The legacy of Israel's formation is marked by Jewish terrorist groups such as Lehi and Irgun. Israel does not want peace, they want supremacy.
